mon Delivered at First

"Seeking and Finding' was the sub
ject of a sermon delivered yesterday
evening; by Rev. J. E. KlUredge. ' who
is temporarily' fining the pulpit of the
Firat freabytertan churchy-Bevr Kltt
redge said In Dart:
" "Seek and ye shall find.' Here the
master Is speaking of prayer, of confi
dence in tho heavenly father. He bide
his disciples to make all their heart
requests known to Ood. to lay loving
siege to" the.'.tbrono .of , sraoe. -to put
forth ulmbst and untiring endeavors to
reach the 'goal of their wish. But this
word of Christ opens, a wider realm.' It
Is of universal application 'Seek and ye
shall find.' It is the law of Quest in
every department of life.
- "It'ts a simple law of nature that
finding hinges on seeking. Birds must
hunt fop food, though God feedeth them.
Man must seek wealth though Ood gives
the power to get wealth. Discovery
comes by research. Comets yield to the
weep of our Swifts, the flora of the
field to our Burbanks, the fossil links
to our Marsh geologists, and antt-tox-Ins
for the blessing of man to our
Kochs. , It U always so. We do not
stumble upon 'finds.' Intellectual "an
tennae are out The mental searchlights
are trained. The hunter brines in the
game.
"There la enterprise In all this. Starch
Is no dull and lifeless thing. ' It tikes
all there Is in a man. This one thing
I do conditions' the successful quest
Whether the man seoks money or educa
tion or scientific secrets or God the law
la the same. Te shall seek me and find
me when ye shall search for me with
all your heart.' This point waa Illus
trated, from the life ef Edison and of
Hotchklss In Central Africa, of Whit
man of Oregon and Stanley In his hunt
for Livingston.
"There Is a varied dignity In the thing
sought No fact is without value In
the kingdom of truth. Gold Is good.
But Agassis had no time to make
money. His was bigger game.' We
honor Peary for bis perilous push to
the pole snd his 'farthest north' of
87. of last April. And Edison for our
Incandescent filaments. But the life
is more than meat And the missionary
search for men beats them all.-
. "It, is worth noting too that a man
gets vastly more than he seeks. There
Is something beyond and that la the
grandest The student gets his Item
but In the hunt he gains largeness,
breadth of view, a search relish that
is gr of ur. Thereaf s pefpeTuarai vi-
dr-nds. Stanley finds Livingston but
he finds himself. Hotchklss find his
lexicographic word but in that word he
finds men and brings them to God. The
thing needed today here,' everywhere.
Is a loving, eager search for the souls
enrnr passionate passion for oolgr
When the church of Christ rises to this,
its grandest privilege and duty, each
Christian man and woman fn a mighty
quest for men, then shall a lost world
be found and brought back to Its wait

Oregon merchants, led by a group of
business men at Dayton. Oregon, tvre
planning a Are insurance company to
take merchants' insurance at a rate juat
one half that of the old-line companies.
A temporary organisation was formed
last week, with O. B. Klppey as presi
dent: fl. C. Stuckey, treasurer; B. L.
Barry, secretary, and a number of
prominent merchants of - Dayton- as
members of the board of dlrectora
These men are- now at work effecting a
permanent organisation and making ar
rangements for a meeting which will
launch the company on its .course as
an active business organisation.
B. L. Barry, secretary of the tempo
rary organisation, who Is at tha Ore-,
gon, telle of the plans for tne com.
pany and explains Its Intent and scope.
- "The merchants of Dayton have be
gun the organisation of the company
partly as an advertisement to the town.
They know It can be made a success
and will grow into a large Institution,"
said Mr. Barry today. "It will be called
the Oregon Merchants' Mutual Fire As
surance Company ' of 'Dayton, and -will
be organised on very conservative lines.
By the time It Is ' Incorporated, which
will be very soon. It will have 1750,000
Insurance written. It is the intention
of the company to assume but $1,000 in
risks from any one man, and to take
but two risks in any one block.
It Is the intention of the company to
put men Into the field and go into ac
tive competition with the old-line com
panies. Waahtngton will be . the first
state Invaded and it Is expected that
the campaign will be begun there soon
after the permanent .organisation.

Creation of "the Office of State
Sanitary Engineer Asked
by Health Board.
Creation of the office of state sanU

recommendation made, by the state '
board of health In Its second biennial
report to the legislature.
The report haa Juat been formulate .
snd inrludea a number of recommends- '
tiona looking toward better sanitary
and hygienic conditions for Oregon. .
The stats engineer quoetion Is one .
upon which the members of the board '
will bring all their Influenceto bear.
They will plainly tell the legislators at
the January aeaslon of the need of su
experienced expert man In so planning
water and sewer systems for 'the cities)
of the state that healthful provisions
will be preserved and the - people's
money conserved at the same time. - -
They believe that the creation of this
office Is a vital neoesalty. If the legla-
lature oannot be convinced of thla fact
at this session, the matter will simply
tie laid over until next time sooner or
later, they believe, the sanitary engi
neer Is bound to oome.
' Held Vp as Szample.
Eugene's "experience In Installing a
sewer system which afterward proved
practically worthless, is held ap as an
example of the need for the state en
gineer. He would be attached te the
state board of- health and would work
under its direction. "Sufficient Inves
tigation has been made by the board to
warrant the assertion that the attlea
throughout the state are anxious for
such an adjunct te the board," says the .
report ' " " .. i
The board also makes a reeommenda-.
tlon that measures - be taken toward
protecting water supplies of towns. To
do this it 1 suggested that the state
board of health be given control ever

ment of a state sanitarium for tuber- '
cular patients. The good results ob-
talned at the Open Air sanitarium near
